Who needs a day off? About fifteen of the GMS Student Council members traded sleeping in for paint rollers, giving a new teacher’s classroom a colorful fresh start! Mrs. Goldner added some finishing touches and the classroom is warm and welcoming for students to return to tomorrow. Thank you, GMS Stuco!
